Pros

Great salary and benefits Hybrid work depending on position Opportunities to work on interesting projects Exposure to a large, complex organisation Some dedicated and supportive colleagues

Cons

Since the change in leadership, the overall work environment deteriorated significantly. I faced a particularly difficult experience under a senior manager whose approach made my role extremely challenging. Unfortunately, when I raised concerns through the ethics reporting process, the experience was frustrating and ultimately led to the case being dismissed. More broadly, I observed poor management practices, internal politics, and inconsistent progression opportunities. Certain individuals appeared to be shielded despite problematic behaviour, and micromanagement was common. The recent reorganisation process lacked transparency and support, with many employees feeling sidelined. Internal recruitment during this period also appeared unfair and poorly handled.
